Trail Overview

This is one of a few options for a more adventurous route between Wyoming and Colorado. Boulder Ridge Road has two parts;the half located in Wyoming is a well-maintained county road, and the half in Colorado is a typical light-duty forest road. A few small rocks can easily be avoided or cleared. The biggest challenge is the occasional puddle. A few mild sections are steep for a moment, but very short-lived. Additionally, there are a few small semi-sandy sections that you will come across. There is a few places where cell signal may exist, there are also a couple of 911 call boxes along the road in the Colorado half.

Difficulty

This trail is generally quite flat. There are lots of dips that can hold water, however, mud is typically minimal. A couple of very mildly steep sections with a few rocks sticking out of the trail exist. A few spots are narrow enough that passing another vehicle is not an option.

Some thicker sand with weight to it, rolling hills, a few puddles with bypasses, fantastic views. I can’t wait to go back. It’sa zoomer trail!

Really dirt road. Some light washboard but that's about it.

Beware OHV riders. Onx says that OHV's are allowed on this road. This is incorrect. This is a county road and it is illegal to ride OHV's on the Colorado stretch. Enforcement was ticketing OHV's the day before we were up there. Make sure you stay of the County roads in this area and stick to the FS roads. Happy trails.

Somewhat narrow road with many twists and turn. Loose material in wheel lanes, rocks in spots. Some puddles.
